Human taxonomy is the classification of the species Homo
sapience (Latin: "wise man"), or modern human. Homo is the human
genus, which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct
species of hominid; H. sapience is the only surviving species of
the genus Homo. Extinct Homo species are known as archaic humans.
Modern humans are the subspecies Homo sapience sapience,
differentiated from a direct ancestor, Homo sapience idaltu.
Prior to the current scientific classification of humans,
philosophers and scientists have made various attempts to classify
humans. They offered various definitions of the human being and
various schemes for classifying types of humans. Biologists once
classified races as subspecies, but today scientists question even
the concept of race itself. Certain issues in human taxonomy remain
topics of debate today.
